April 18th, 2007

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - The NCAA approved and licensed 32 bowl games for the 2007 season, the same as last year.

The approval comes as the NCAA Postseason Football Licensing Subcommittee said about $217.6 million in bowl revenue from this past season was distributed to participating teams and conferences. Approximately 1.6 million fans attended the bowl games.

Existing bowls that have been licensed for 2007-08 include: Alamo, Allstate Sugar, AT&T Cotton, AutoZone Liberty, BCS National Championship, Bell Helicopter Armed Forces, Brut Sun, Capital One, Champs Sports, Chick-fil-A, Emerald, Fed Ex Orange, Gator, Gaylord Hotels Music City, GMAC, Humanitarian, Insight, International, Meineke Car Care, Motor City, New Mexico, Outback, Pacific Life Holiday, Papajohns.com, PetroSun Independence, Pioneer Pure Vision Las Vegas, R+L Carriers New Orleans, Rose, San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia, Sheraton Hawaii, Texas and Tostitos Fiesta.

"The subcommittee is pleased to license all 32 bowls that took place last year," said Jeff Hathaway, director of athletics at the University of Connecticut and acting chair of the NCAA Postseason Football Licensing Subcommittee. "It shows the good work and management that these bowl organizers have done to create a positive experience for the student- athletes."
